Couch Information
Couch Available: Yes Preferred Gender: Any Max Surfers Per Night: 2
Shared Sleeping Surface: No Shared Room: DependsThere is a couch where can sleep 2 normal people or 3 tiny people, if You are all ok with Yourselves :)
There is one extra bed but it's on my bedroom, so, if You don't mind with Your privacy, You can sleep there too! First of all: READ my profile! The acceptance/rejection may depend on this!
Now that I am sharing the house with CESAR and NINA, so we have to check if we are all available for the days You requested Your stay, in order to confirm that You can still have some comfort.
About the house, it's located quite around the center of the city, so there are transports around! From Airplane (5km), till Boat or Ferries (10km), Passing by Metro (Red line) city buses and train stop during the week.
Just one thing, if YOU really plan to surf our couch please send a couchsurf request (by hitting the request couchsurf button) in stead of sending a message. It is less confusing and is good to know the purpose of the message!
Thank You once again!
Ah, one more recommended thing is better to let me know Your plans with (at least) one week of advance! We may be surfing somewhere too! And also important: do not send copy/paste requests, so if You were able to read my profile use the first keyword "whatever" (yes, there are another words).
Otherwise a simple ignore will be replied (or not replied at all).
And after Your visit We would like to know some feedback from your side, I mean You are a guest.. right? You're the one who performs a couch request... right? Tell us how was Your experience over here! We would appreciate a lot! It's polite and never hurts anyone! I always leave a refference when I am a guest.
I also would like to invite You to make some cycling a bit outside Lisbon! As Lisbon has heavy traffic and is not bike friendly yet, it's better to cycle somewhere else (on satruday afternoon or sunday or both if You still have legs and ass for that!
Or even better, join on some random bike meetings i'm organizing! I can borrow You some bike(s).
Also please don't send request if You come more than 2 weeks of advance, fisrt of all we don't wknow where we might be (specially on weekends) and also we may forget about Your requests and when You arrive, the house may not have space for You, and of course You will not be comfortable here.
Another thing is that we prefer to host verified members or people who donated to couchsurfing if You had travelled a lot by CS. For example You had been travelling for months, stayed with CS people, so meaning You saved really a lot compared to any paid night, so it will don't hurt Your wallet, and You are helping this website to stay alive! Fair, isn't it? Of course new members are welcome too! If You are new over here, You don't have to give anything at all! Then if You liked Couchsurfing the choice will be Yours!

HEREOne Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneBeing alive is mostly amazing! And can be also boring.. It happens to almost everyone. Right?
And yes All the cycle tours around europe. Mainly Austria and Russia.

Update: YES! I WILL CYCLE THE WORLD! Definitely!
Ok.. now suspended, but still on my mind!
Because the third word is "is":)
So if you reached this level and We had approved your couch request, You can contact if You are stranded, or tell me Your username if You send me SMS, if I cannot host, it could be possible to find something for You! However always make a backup plan.Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectAbout couchsurfing is a wonferful idea, I just feel sorry that many other members don't share the same idea (nobody is perfect.. right?).

From SERENDIPITOUS Schaijk, Netherlands Jul 23, 2008 Positive So many times we tried to get together unsucessfully. We finally got together in Gossau CH after more than a year of trying to meet. Serg is such a good person. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him.
From PETRUCCI67 Duisburg, Germany Jul 8, 2008 Positive This guy is really funny. I don't know how many times he hugged me, smiling at the Paella 2008. He is always smiling, joking ... a great guy to have fun with. I was supposed to give him a lift back home to Düsseldorf, but he immediately accepted it, when I asked him to go there with other CSers, as I wanted to stay a day longer.
We planned to see each other soon, cause we live really close to each other. Looking forward to it!
From desaparecida Vienna, Austria Jul 8, 2008 Positive We first met at the 2007 Sinterklaas party in Rotterdam where we had some nice chats together, but he dissappeared without me remembering his name or username. Then we met again at the Berlin Beach camp, had some more nice chats and again I forgot to ask him for his name or username... After even more nice chats at the Paella he finally found me here :o)
Sergio was great fun and nice company in all these parties so I'm looking forward to more chats wherever it may be ;o)
From ASHLEY SF San Francisco, United States Jul 8, 2008 Positive We first met on chat a while back, and finally met at Berlin Beach Camp and then again at the Paella this july! We spent a long 6 hours together in the car to get there, all squished together, so I feel like I know him a lot better by now! Sergio is super-friendly and energetic, and I think I am sure to run into him again sometime soon!
From Stefano Cortinovis Tartu, Estonia Jul 6, 2008 Positive Sergio, so funny with all his solar panels and electronic devices, but also interesting and unique among those I have met lately! He's always present at German speaking meetings, bring him something technological.
From VATO_LOCO Arnhem, Netherlands May 21, 2008 Positive Sergio is full of surprises! We met for some time at Carnaval in Maastrich, and then I finally get to know a bit of the great sergio!

All the people were perplexed and drawn them in like we were magnets! Good times! Wonder what the next encounter will bring!!

From Frank Verhart Maastricht, Netherlands May 13, 2008 Positive Sergio is funny, sometimes a bit weird, but funny, in the positive and right way! :) He can do really many special moves with his neck, head, arms, hands, fingers, ears, lips, nose... :) Nice guy to hang around with, and I totally like his biking prestations. Cycling is really one of the best ways to travel, and he did it!! Hopefully someday we could go cycling together, Sergio?

From angel_goes_traveling Vienna, Austria Jul 19, 2006 street biker. Actually I saw Sergio first and not his bike, even if the bike is/was the front profile picture. I was really surprised how little luggage he had with him and still so many cool things in there. I'm trying to copy that. ... As he didn't make any pictures in Vienna, I guess I will see him here again and next time I'll show him personally the beautiful sites of my city (and the bike ways).
Take care!
